time between results from bilateral mastectomy with snb and axillary dissection if needed
Hello, I will be having a bilateral mastectomy and sentinel node biopsy very soon. Can anyone give me some idea of the timing between the results from the surgery pathology and performing an axillary...
I think between 2 and 3 weeks after initial and axillary clearance would be maximum if needed. Radiotherapy is determined by node number but usually above 3. Some err on side of caution.
However...just ride the rollercoaster and take each bend as it comes. No point worrying about time frames and treatment that will or will not happen until you know results. ..it will just send you crazy.
Once you have your final pathology then a path will be set for you. It does get a little easier mentally after that. Take care. Kath x
